Chapter 565 Township Party (1) 2/2
The ancestral house of the Cao family in the west of Zhongyang Town is now in ruins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The broken walls seem to tell people that this place was once inhabited, and beyond that, there is a pile of broken bricks and tiles that have been obliterated by overgrown weeds. This was once the place where Cao Peng first lived after his rebirth. Cao Peng reined in his horse outside the wall and threw his kick off the saddle......
Standing outside a collapsed wall, he looked inside, a sad look in his eyes.
He still remembered where his bedroom was and where his parents' room was. There is also an iron furnace next to the gate, which was used by Cao Ji to repair farm tools at that time. Now, the furnace was gone, and all that remained was a pile of charred dirt.
Pang De and the others did not follow, and dismounted from a distance of twenty paces to be on guard.
Walking into the courtyard, Cao Peng stood there in a daze, not moving.
At this moment, he remembered Wang Meng.
I remember the first time I met Wang Meng was the third day after he was reborn. Wang Meng hunted a yellow sheep from the mountains and happily handed it to his mother to cook for herself. But now, Wang Meng is gone! Wang Mai is far away in Longqi City, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return.
Behind him, footsteps rang out.
But it was Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen who followed.
"That's where I grew up as a kid."
Cao Peng turned his head, with a smile on his face, as if he was explaining to Huang Yueying Xiahou Zhen, and as if he was talking to himself: "I remember, the room is there...... I was recovering from a serious illness and sitting on the porch in a daze. Tiger Head came running in from here and told me that Uncle Meng had bought him a hunting knife. I remember that he was so happy at that time, showing off in front of me, and being reprimanded by Mengbo.
That hunting knife was the murder weapon I used to kill for the first time in my life. ”
Huang Yueying and Xiahou Zhen held one of Cao Peng's hands and accompanied him.
Deng Ai stood outside the door curiously, looking at the desolation at this glance, revealing a look of doubt.
He had not experienced the most difficult period of Cao Peng and Deng Ji, and when he was born, Cao Peng and they had already established themselves in Xudu.
Although when I was a child, I often heard my mother talk about the difficulties of the year, but after all, I didn't experience it, and I couldn't say that I felt too much.
However, seeing this desolation, Deng Ai seemed to understand!
He subconsciously clenched the saber under his side, and his little face showed a look of anger, "Who did this?" ”
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.
"What's the matter?"
Cao Peng heard the movement, turned around and frowned and asked.
saw Cai Di trotting all the way over, "Teacher, there is a person who claims to be your old friend and has come to ask for a meeting." ”
"The deceased?"
Cao Peng was stunned and walked out of the ruins.
But I saw a young man outside the door, about seven feet six inches tall, that is, about 175 centimeters, quite burly and strong.
Looking at the age, it is not much the same as Cao Peng, that is, about twenty-five.
The bronze face was clearly the result of working outdoors. He wore a patched coarse cloth coat and a pair of cloth boots at his feet. Seeing Cao Peng, the young man grinned. He took two quick steps and arched his hand, "Ah...... Cao Taishou, do you remember Nanbang? ”
Lampang?
Cao Peng looked at the young man, vaguely familiar.
But he was sure that the young man didn't have much to do with him.
Even if there is a relationship, it should be before Cao Peng is reborn. At least in Cao Peng's memory, the impression of this young man is very vague.
"Chen Shi...... Remember? ”
The young man looked at Cao Peng with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but say: "When I was a child, you, and Brother Hutou, the three of us often played together. ”
"Ah......h
Cao Peng pointed his finger at Chen Shi, "I remembered!" ”
However, instead of remembering the relationship between Chen Shi and him, he vaguely remembered that in the Three Kingdoms, there seemed to be a person named Chen Shi. It's just that he doesn't know if the Chen style in front of him is the same name. But when he mentioned the tiger's head, it must be that the relationship is not too bad.
Cao Peng knows that not everyone can call Wang Bo's nickname, unless the relationship is very good.
And judging by what he said before, that 'Ah' is probably to call Cao Peng's nickname.
So it is certain that the relationship between this Chen Shi and him and Wang Mai should not be too bad. Cao Peng's remaining memories are already very vague. Many things have long been forgotten by Cao Peng. However, Chen Shi looked very happy, and nodded again and again, "Remembered? Hehe, when we were kids, we used to fish together by the stream outside the town. Do you remember, the alchemist who taught us to read? Or did I see it first...... But then I went out with my father to earn a living, and when I came back, you and the tiger head were gone. ”
What a playmate of my youth!
Cao Peng's face showed a smile.
He waved his hand and motioned for Pang De and the others to let him over, and then walked two quick steps to approach Chen Shi.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten my old friend."
"yes, I didn't expect to meet you again...... I'm coming back in the second year you're gone. When I inquired, I found out that you had caused trouble. At that time, I wanted to go to you, but my father was seriously ill and I couldn't leave...... In a flash, a full thirteen years have passed. ”
That's it!
After Cao Peng was reborn, he did not see Chen Shi.
The reason why it feels familiar is probably because of some of the imprints left by the original Cao Peng.
"When I came back, your house was like this.
I heard that it was the people who came to arrest you, and before they caught you, they burned down your family and the tiger's house. Two years ago, someone tried to take it, but I stopped it. I knew that one day, you and Tiger Head would come back...... By the way, how is Tiger Head now? Why didn't you see him? Hehe, is that guy still the same as before, so brave and ruthless? ”
Chen Shi pouted and said a long list.
But for Cao Peng, taking advantage of what he said, he also roughly understood the situation.
The ancestral house of the Cao family was burned down by the old family. Thinking that at that time, Cheng Yao sent someone to arrest Cao Peng, but he didn't want to be killed by Cao Peng, Cheng Ji, and Wang Meng's family fled from Zhongyang Town. In a fit of rage, Cheng Yao ordered two houses to be burned down, and the right to vent his personal anger was ......
However, Cheng Yao is dead!
Calculating the time, Cheng Yao's father and son have also been dead for almost ten years.
Cao Peng smiled and patted Chen Shi's arm, "Chen Shi, thank you!" ”
"Eh, you might as well call me little wolf."
Chen Shi is very good at talking, and this sentence shortens the distance. Presumably Little Wolf is his nickname, and it is also the name between them and Cao Peng back then.
Cao Peng said: "Then thank you, little wolf." ”
"Haha, I really couldn't believe it just now, but it was really you.
How did you become a Taishou? ”
That's a long way to say...... By the way, I'm back this time to rebuild my ancestral house. and the house of the Mengbo family, which was repaired together. You can help me ask who occupies the house of the Tiger Head family now. I can pay for it and buy it back......"
"Buy one!"
Chen Shi said: "The house of the tiger head is almost the same as here, it is all deserted, and no one is there.
If you want to fix it, I'll get someone to help you later. We in Zhongyang Town finally came out with such a big official as you, and everyone was very happy in their hearts. As long as you speak, before farming, you must repair the old house, which is bigger than the house of Zhang Cheng's family.
By the way, where is Brother Tiger now? ”
"Oh, he's in Longqi City, Liangzhou, and he's the governor of the west."
"Lieutenant of the West?"
Chen Shi heard this and jumped again.
He glared at Cao Peng, and suddenly said after a while: "Ah Fu, don't you want to tell me that Uncle Cao is now the assassin of Liangzhou?" ”
"Exactly!"
Chen Shi listened to it and was stunned.
Zhongyang Mountain is located at the intersection of Nanyang and Runan, there are many merchants coming and going, and the information is quite smooth.
Chen Shi has heard people say that Xu has a Cao San, both civil and military. In the northwest, Ma Teng was embarrassed and walked away, which can be called the hero of the world.
However, Chen Shi did not associate the three articles of Cao with Cao Afu, who played together back then.
Even if Cao Peng appeared in Zhongyang Town as Nanyang Taishou, he didn't think that far. Cao Ji, who struck iron back then, was the hidden ink giant? He really couldn't believe it. It wasn't until he asked Wang Mai just now that he heard that Wang Mai had become the governor of the western region, and Chen Shi was surprised. Only then did he associate Cao Sanshan and Cao Ji from Liangzhou with his childhood playmate, but he couldn't help but feel a huge pressure.
Cao Peng smiled and patted Chen Shi on the shoulder.
"Ling Ming, settle down in Zhongyang Town today, and you ordered someone to set up camp outside the town.
Immediately sent someone to Wuyin and told Jia Taizhong that I would leave on the first day of the first month and go to Wuyin County. However, in the past few days, I have temporarily settled in Zhongyang Town. If you have anything, you can send someone to contact me...... Well, wait for me to confess my sin to Mrs. Jia. ”
"Whoa!"
Pang De took the order and left, but Chen Shi was still a little dazed.
"Little wolf...... By the way, who gave you this word? ”
"Ah, a few years ago, when I went to the county seat, I asked a fortune teller to give me a name. What did he say about "Poetry? What is the formula in "Daya" is Nanbang, so I was given the word Nanbang. For this word, I spent ten dollars, and the old man was a little black-hearted. ”
The Book of Songs? Daya? In Song Gao", there is a sentence of 'the king ordered Shenbo, the formula is Lambang'.
Cao Peng smiled and said in his heart: This fortune teller really dares to name it.
"Little wolf, I'll borrow your house tonight, I don't know if it's convenient?"
"Borrow my house?"
When Chen Shi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded excitedly, "What can you borrow or not, Ah Fu, you live in my house, it is my luck...... However, the environment of my family is not very good, I am afraid that I will wronged you and the two ladies, as well as your son-in-law. ”
"My son?"
Cao Peng was stunned, and following Chen's gaze, he saw Deng Ai behind him.
"Little wolf, he is not my son, my son is still in Xingyang, living with my mother.
This is my sister's son, my nephew Deng Ai...... Xiao Ai, come and meet your Uncle Chen. He was a good friend of mine when I was a teenager. ”
"Nephew, I've seen my uncle."
Chen Shi was suddenly in a hurry and hurriedly helped Deng Ai.
"Is it Sister Nan's child? It's all so big...... Hehe, Sister Nan treated me when I was a child, but she was very good. ”
Even if Chen Shi is a figure in Zhongyang Town, he has seen the world. But in the face of Cao Peng's group, he still felt inexplicably nervous.
After all, the disparity in identity and status is too great.
He even felt that he shouldn't call Cao Peng's milk name, which was a great disrespect.
It's just that he doesn't know what to call it. Addressing 'Adult' seems a bit alienating...... But if you call your name, it's a little rude. Chen Shi was very entangled in his heart, and he didn't know what to do. saw Cao Peng stretch out his hand and grab his arm.
"Let's go and have a look at your house...... That's right, relax!
You send someone to Wuyin County, just buy wine and food. I will invite the best chef in Wuyin to come over, and I will set up a flowing water banquet in Zhongyang Town for three days to thank the villagers for taking care of my family back then. This mother specially instructed and invited the fathers and villagers to refuse. ”
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed......
